Then I took mom to an antique shop she likes to go to, and hung around with them for awhile and headed home.   It was a nice day and no stress

On the way back I drove through POURING rain and a little hail.  That always tires me out.   When I got home -120 miles away- it was almost 30 degrees warmer than where my parents are and it was a bright sunny day.  Bizaarre

DR Cilla, please pass on the following message.......



Thanks Jane, I will.  She and Don went out of town today, so I didn't see her today, but did send birthday wishes

From DR Cilla:
Quote
"Now that I'm 60, I've turned nice"

I busted out laughing at that.  I suppose it is her way of apologizing.
No she just wants met to buy her book

Vixmom, the 24-hour diners are very much a metro-NYC thing, and some of the New England ones are 24 hours, too.

I've lived here too long now to know about the rest of the country, but historically I think this is the way it is.  (I love 'em!)

We have 24 hour places- usually truck stops or Perkins or IHOP or something like that, but you can order dinner or breakfast or whatever

DR Jeanne, thanks for your concern.  Mom is ok with whatever happens and when she wants to,  she has a way of getting what she wants....today it was lunch with all of us, and that's exactly what happened

Mary Linda and I had a delightful afternoon with Katie and Laura.  We met up there with Laura's friend Megan and her mom Becky.  Becky said to me, "I know you!"  She worked as a student assistant in the campus library about 30 years ago.

Connections like this are fun.

One of the stops on the tour was The Gift Gallery on Central Avenue.  The owner, Melody, and I finally determined that we knew each other from being in DR Elmore's YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN together in 1976.

One of the things I've noticed now that I've started clearing paths in order to clean the house is how many Christmas presents I haven't been able to enjoy because of the bbq book and the last class. I've got books and CDs, DVDs and more waiting to be enjoyed.

It's kinda like Christmas all over again.

DR Cilla, the truck stops would be the closest thing to a northeastern diner for the general vibe and large variety of foodstuffs night and day.  These menus, though, have to be seen to be believed.

Third hour of "The Sorrow and the Pity." I think it's been better to approach this like a miniseries than watch it all in one sitting.

I would rather be at the STAGE show tonight.

Last night I posted

Late Night Trivia Question

What do all the movies have in common. (Something very specific)

Greetings
Henry and June
The Split
The Flamingo Kid
Georgy Girl

I will give the answer later today so other people can try their hand at it.

And here is the answer

These are the first films to be rated by (But not necessary released first) by the MPAA in the following categories

Greetings X Rated (no longer used)
Henry and June (NC-17)
The Split (R)
The Flamingo Kid (PG-13, but Red Dawn was released first)
Georgy Girl (M later changed to GP and then to PG)

and I couldn't find the first G rated

Watching Mary Martin in the TV version of Annie Get Your Gun. She's wonderful, so is John Raitt.

Wow!  What a shock.  I tuned into my PBS station to watch the new Celtic Thunder Show tonight only to find out that George Donaldson, "the big brother" of the group died last month of a massive heart attack.  He was only 46 years old.

Really enjoyed Martin as Annie Oakley more than I thought I would. It made for a nice leadup to Sound of Music, watching her act with all of the kids.
